Spoiler LED Light

GT88 · 17-12-2008, 01:52 PM

Ive got an XR spoiler and half of the LED lights are not working. I rang up Ford and they wanted a ridiculous $242 ($136 trade) for it. What other options do I have?

remove the spoiler altogether haha.

Try wreckers, most probably charge the same price though.

Failing that, try ebay...

i was only thinking the other day do they make these in clear with red leds??

can you take the led bit apart and solder new ones from jaycay? or check wiring?

QFT. I don't do 300km/h often enough to warrant a spoiler.

The main effect of a spoiler? To weigh down your boot and kill your struts.

I was thinking of doing this, but the entire right side LED's are not working which is leading me to believe that there could be something else causing the problem other than blown LED's. Ill give it a go nonetheless.

if its anything like the ef el ones i carefully pried mine aprt then reglued when finished and yo cant tell.they were in groups of 3 or 4 leds with a resistor to cut the voltage to each group ,was just a bunt resistor on mine easy to fix about 10c and a bit of time

Thanks for the info. Ill wait for my cousin to come back from overseas because I know nothing about soldering and electronics. Cheers

have the same thing with my AU11 right hand side works,was told had to get spoiler as it was "all in one" then get it painted same as the car prob cost $450.00 or more. Saw some at super cheap other week am going back with measurements after Xmas. If any one a comes up with a cheaper fix I am interested.
